Spotify’s new app to crack into social media world

Published

on

Say hello to ‘Greenroom’ AKA spotify’s new live audio app.

It’s Spotify’s first real attempt at creating a social media platform, allowing people to host live conversations about sports, music and culture.

Spotify users worldwide can join or host live audio rooms, and optionally turn those conversations into podcasts.

It’s also announcing a Creator Fund that will help fuel the new app with more content in the future.

The app is built on Locker Room, here’s your changes:

Back in March, Spotify acquired sports-focused audio app ‘Locker Room’ and now Spotify Greenroom has replaced it with the re-designed green room experience available now.

The locker room app focused solely on sports content, and now it’s a mix of sports, culture and more. Other noticeable changes to the app are mostly visual. It now has a Spotify green-and-black color scheme, as well as a new logo and font.

Native recording, is also featured, which will allow users to save their shows and distribute them as podcasts.

Mic battle: Facebook VS Spotify

Every tech company now seems to be interested in social audio, and demand is on the rise.

Since Clubhouse launched at the start of last year, Twitter has launched Spaces, Facebook hosted its first Live Rooms, and other companies.

Facebook is planning to start rolling out its podcast on June 22nd, and, eventually, similar to spotify, this feature will allow listeners to take charge, and create clips.

According to an email sent to podcast page owners and viewed by The Verge, hosts can link their show’s RSS feed up to Facebook, which will then automatically generate News Feed posts for all episodes published moving forward.

Facebook confirmed with The Verge that a limited number of page owners would have access. However, emails are still being sent to additional page owners, suggesting the rollout might be wider than initially anticipated.

“Facebook will be the place where people can enjoy, discuss, and share the podcasts they love with each other,” the company says in this email.
